Today the world lost a great person and I lost a dear friend. Patsy Sylvia went home with the Lord last night and I am so sorry for the loss. Buddy and all of the family I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss and how I mourn with you. The world is losing so many of our great champions and Patsy’s legacy is so great the entire community is suffering. She was not merely a great family leader but a leader in our community. Her pleasant smile was as infectious as it could be and she had such a great way of communicating I could just sit and talk to her for as long as I could.
I truly enjoyed our time together, going over Bible verses, eating together at our neighborhood picnics, etc. She had such a great attitude in facing giant struggles in her health. She faced them looking them in the eye full of life and ready to fight for her family’s sake and fully prepared for the final outcome. If we could all be that brave, the world would surely be a better place. The world in fact is a better place for her being a part of it and I for one am a better person being affected by her. All of us could learn from her, she was way more concerned for her family and her friends than she ever was with herself.
She loved her family, friends, and community and the world loved her right back. It was impossible to know her and not love her. She came to all of the neighborhood events and it was easy to see the crowd drawn to her.
Patsy loved the Lord and she is finally resting peacefully. I can only say we should all direct our lives to accept Christ as our Savior and Patsy we will see you soon.
